Corporate Digital Transformation and the Internationalization of R&D

In the context of digital transformation and economic globalization, R&D (research and development) internationalization is essential for enterprises to utilize global resources and achieve technological innovation. This study examines Chinese A-share-listed industrial companies with active overseas R&D from 2010 to 2022 using a Poisson panel fixed-effects model to assess how digital transformation influences R&D internationalization. The findings confirm that digital transformation significantly enhances the depth and breadth of R&D internationalization, even when controlling for endogeneity. The analysis identifies financing constraints and information communication efficiency as key mediators in this process. Additionally, the impact varies by the type of digital technology and the geographical location of the enterprises. This research not only deepens understanding of the link between digital transformation and R&D internationalization but also aids policy formulation for governments and businesses.

‘How do plants grow?’: teaching photosynthesis using digital inquiry-based science learning

The use of digital technologies as teaching and learning materials supports and enhances science learning, encouraging students to develop valuable inquiry skills and knowledge. In response, this paper seeks to explore digital inquiry-based learning as a useful aid for teaching the elementary school science curriculum on plants in Malaysia. There is a strong rationale for this work, as (i) this curriculum has received less attention compared to the equivalent on animals, and (ii) students have developed misconceptions about plants, typically in the areas of plant nutrition and photosynthesis. Thus, the paper describes a 5E Instructional Model lesson plan, which uses various digital technologies to tackle different inquiry elements at each instructional model stage. The goals of the activities are to help students: (i) assess their preexisting knowledge and engage with a new concept, (ii) create predictions and document their observations, (iii) display their conceptual understanding, (iv) gain a more profound and broader understanding through new experiences, and (v) examine their understanding and abilities with the aid of digital technology resources. The suggested activities are further discussed in relation to different types of digital technologies and evidence-based practice, thus encouraging other educators to integrate digital inquiry-based learning into their work.

Digital technologies for bowel management: A scoping review

The use of digital technologies in managing bowel conditions has been a topic of interest among healthcare practitioners. The objectives of this paper were to provide information about the types of digital technologies that have been used for bowel management and the context of the studies; identify the gaps and challenges in digital technologies for bowel management and propose new methods and techniques for the application of digital technologies in bowel management. A scoping review was conducted following the principles of Preferred Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). A search was conducted on six academic databases. 1891 papers were retrieved from the initial search; however, 6 papers were included based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The findings suggest that published work focused mainly on a research context and with a narrow focus targeting sub-categories of bowel conditions and not implemented in the context of everyday use. The findings also illustrate the variety of early-stage developments focused on increasing support for severe bowel dysfunction, for example, through biofeedback to aid muscle control training, or the placement of artificial anal sphincters to increase rectal perception. However, technology to support bowel management for broader populations with less severe or variable symptoms appears limited. Future work would be to conduct empirical research in the application of advanced technologies such as on-organ sensors in managing bowel conditions.

Business Continuity in South Africa During COVID-19 Pandemic: Digital Technology Perspective

South Africa, like many other countries globally, implemented a lockdown in an attempt to contain the spread of the coronavirus which has had an adverse effect on business operations and sustainability. Minimal information is available concerning the impact of digital technology utilisation on business continuity during such a pandemic. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the impact of digital technology on business continuity during this period at a South African Testing, Inspection and Certification (TIC) company. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 59 employees and data were collected using an online anonymous questionnaire for the different types of digital technology used pre-pandemic and during the pandemic, as well as its impact on interactions and work expectations. Results revealed that the company used virtual meetings, cloud storage, electronic job systems, telecommunications, messaging applications, business intelligence solutions, big data analytics, and online training. There were moderate positive relationships found between the types of technology and business continuity during the pandemic. Areas for continual improvement were reported as network connectivity, communication, and training. It is recommended that post-COVID-19, companies need to continually evaluate the use of digital technology to further reduce the time spent by employees on manual processes thereby improving productivity to provide better customer service and enhance competitive advantage.

Risk management behaviour in digital factories: the influence of technology and task uncertainty on managerial risk responses

PurposeThis study aims to advance a behavioural approach towards understanding how managerial perception impacts the enactment of responses to risk management during the implementation of digital technologies in industrial operations and supply chains. The purpose is to investigate the influence of (digital) technology and task uncertainty on the risk perception of managers and how this impacts risk responses adopted by managers.Design/methodology/approachFollowing an exploratory theory elaboration approach, the authors collected more than 80 h of interview material from 53 expert interviews. These interviews were conducted with representatives of 46 German companies that have adopted digital technologies for different industrial applications within manufacturing, assembly and logistics processes.FindingsThe findings provide nuanced insights on how individual and combined sources of uncertainty (technology and task uncertainty) impact the perception of decision makers and the resulting managerial responses adopted. The authors uncover the important role played by the interaction between digital technology and human being in the context of industrial operations. The exploratory study shows that the joint collaboration between humans and technologies has negative implications for managerial risk responses regardless of positive or negative perception, and therefore, requires significant attention in future studies.Research limitations/implicationsThe empirical base for this study is limited to German companies (mainly small and medium size). Moreover, German culture can be characterised by a high uncertainty avoidance and this may also limit the generalizability of the findings.Practical implicationsManagers should critically revise their perception of different types of digital technologies and be aware of the impact of human-machine interaction. Thereby, they should investigate more systematic approaches of risk identification and assessment.Originality/valueThis paper focuses on the managerial risk responses in the context of digitalisation projects with practical insights of 53 expert interviews.

The increasing use of digital therapeutics of insomnia and other sleep disorders: a systematic review

Abstract Background Chronic insomnia is a significant public health problem affecting 15% of the adult population worldwide. There have been few research trials on digital therapeutics (Dtx) for insomnia and other sleep initiation and maintenance disorders (ISMD), and even less real world evaluations of their efficacy. The aim of this review is to describe the digital therapeutic (Dtx) solutions that have been reported in the scientific literature to mitigate the impact of ISMD on individuals. Methods We conducted a systematic review of Dtx and insomnia-related literature (with no time limits) by searching MEDLINE/Pubmed and Scopus with appropriate terms to find relevant articles. We included only primary studies and exluded those on patients with diseases other than ISMD. We extracted study characteristics such as the paper title, journal, and publication year, and we categorized them by setting of the study, type of technology/device, type of treatment provided, primary outcome, and clinical results of the Dtx use for ISMD. Results The search identified 129 articles, of which 15 full-text articles were assessed and included in the review after duplicate removal and screening. Most of the selected articles were randomized controlled trials (RTCs 60%) and real-world studies (40%) published between 2016 and 2023, and using the following types of digital technologies: mobile apps (66%), web-based programs (7%), and mixed solutions (27%). We report that these digital solutions provide digital-Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (d-CBT 67%), mindfullness (13%) and other treatments (20%). Many scientific contributions use the Insomnia Severity Index (47%) and sleep latency (20%) as primary outcomes, and all the included studies report significant improvements in ISMD control. Conclusions Both evidence resulting from controlled trials and real-world data suggest that digital therapeutics can result in relatively high levels of engagement and clinically meaningful sleep improvements. Key messages • This review demonstrate that both RCTs and real-world evidence support the efficacy of digitally-provided treatments for mitigating the impact and improve outcomes of patients with insomnia. • In a ever evolving scenario, where new digital solutions and therapeutics continuously enter the market, it is mandatory to constantly monitor the efficacy and safety of such innovations.

BACKM-EHA: A Novel Blockchain-enabled Security Solution for IoMT-based E-healthcare Applications

E-health is the use of information and communication technology (ICT) for the healthcare-related services. It uses various types of digital technologies and telecommunications, such as computers, sensing devices, Internet, and mobile devices to deliver medical services. Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is a communication environment optimized for low-power devices (for example, health sensors and actuators) and operation on, in, or around the human body (i.e., a patient). It can be used in various applications that are related to healthcare, such as “body automation,” “healthcare,” “medical monitoring,” “body interaction,” and “medical implants (i.e., pacemaker).” Most of the communications happen in IoMT-based e-healthcare system are wireless in nature. This may cause severe threats to the security of the system. Various information security-related attacks, i.e., replay, man-in-the-middle attack (MiTM), impersonation, privileged insider, unauthorised session key computation, credentials leakage, stolen verifier, malware injection are possible in IoMT-based e-healthcare system. These threats and attacks can create serious problems in the social life of an individual, as this may reveal their confidential healthcare information to other unauthorised parties. Therefore, it is essential to propose an access control and key management scheme to secure the communication of a IoMT-based e-healthcare system. Moreover, the security of such kind of scheme can also be enhanced through the deployment of a blockchain mechanism. Therefore, in this article, we propose a blockchain-enabled access control and key management protocol for IoMT-based e-healthcare system that is named as “BACKM-EHA” in short. The security analysis of proposed BACKM-EHA is also provided through the standard, i.e., “Real-Or-Random model.” The various conducted security analyses prove the security of BACKM-EHA against the different types of potential attacks. The performance of BACKM-EHA is better than the other existing schemes, as it requires less communication cost, computation cost, and provides more “security and functionality features.”

Introduction. The population aging in Hanoi Capital and Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) coincides with the development of the 4th Industrial Revolution and digital transformation. The article aims to analyze the current state of social adaptation of elderly people in Vietnam to the digital transformation of society through their attitudes and levels of accessing and using to certain types of digital technologies in the economic, political, social and cultural field. Materials and Methods. The sociological survey of 984 elderly people in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City was conducted from May to September 2022. SPSS version 25.0 was used for statistical analysis and quantitative testing. The national census reports and population aging data were also analyzed. Results. Elderly people are poorly aware of the function and usefulness of some digital technologies, although this technologies are quite popular, necessary, and even created only for them. Therefore, they do not have good access to them. The main reasons are ignorance, the absence of help and guidance. However, elderly people believe that digital technologies will help them live happier and more convenient. Discussion and Conclusion. Equipping the younger generation with digital knowledge and skills is a necessary preparation for the goal of “active aging” in digital era. The government needs more relevant projects to improve the social adaptation of elderly people; pay attention to the best solution to the digital divide for elderly people being in rural area, poor group, low education and living alone. The results of this article provide some important implications for state agencies, elderly associations, family institutions and the elderly. This results will supply ideas to build necessary solutions and policies for the elderly in the digital era.

Multinational enterprises, Industry 4.0 and sustainability: A multidisciplinary review and research agenda

Humanity is facing important challenges in the area of sustainability, for which all parties and means need to be brought together. Multinational enterprises (MNEs) are considered key actors for helping realise a successful transition towards a greener and more equitable future, in a time and age where much hope is set on novel digital technologies (often termed Industry 4.0) to expedite change ‘for good’. Despite this attention, however, there is limited insight into the actual state of the art regarding MNEs, Industry 4.0 and the implications for sustainability. As a result, academic knowledge of how MNEs develop and employ digital technologies, and what significance this has in relation to sustainability, is fragmented along disciplinary boundaries. We therefore conduct a systemic multidisciplinary review of the literature, examining the different types of digital technologies, the geographical scope of the studies, and the sustainability dimensions covered. Based on this critical evaluation, which considers both (potential) positive and negative implications, we present a promising research agenda for scholars on themes that are also highly relevant for organizations, individuals, societies and the planet.

Older Adults and New Technology: Mapping Review of the Factors Associated With Older Adults’ Intention to Adopt Digital Technologies

Ongoing advancements in digital solutions support older adults' healthy aging and well-being. However, a unified synthesis of sociodemographic, cognitive, attitudinal, emotional, and environmental factors that influence older adults' intention to use these new digital technologies is still lacking. Understanding the salient factors that influence older adults' intention to use digital technologies will help to ensure that technology is developed appropriately and contextually. This understanding is also likely to contribute to developing technology acceptance models specifically for the aging generation, by reorganizing principles and constructing objectivity criteria for future research studies. This review aims to identify the key factors associated with older adults' intention to use digital technologies and to provide a comprehensive conceptual framework to describe the relationships between these key factors and older adults' intention to use digital technologies. A mapping review was conducted using 9 databases from inception to November 2022. Articles were selected for review if they had an evaluative component of older adults' intention to use digital technologies. Three researchers independently reviewed the articles and extracted the data. Data synthesis was performed via narrative review and quality appraisal was measured using 3 different tools based on each article's study design. We identified a total of 59 articles investigating older adults' intention to use digital technologies. The majority (40/59, 68%) of articles did not use an existing framework or model for technology acceptance. Studies mostly adopted a quantitative research design (27/59, 46%). We found 119 unique factors reported to influence older adults' intention to use digital technologies. These were categorized into 6 distinct themes: Demographics and Health Status, Emotional Awareness and Needs, Knowledge and Perception, Motivation, Social Influencers, and Technology Functional Features. Given the importance of global demographic change toward an aging society, there is surprisingly limited research on the factors that influence older adults' intention to use digital technologies. Our identification of the key factors across different types of digital technology and models supports the future integration of a comprehensive perspective encompassing environmental, psychological, and social determinants for older adults' intention to use digital technologies.

Teaching Mathematics through Micro-Learning in the Context of Conceptual and Procedural Knowledge

In light of technological development worldwide, the focus has been on how different types of digital technology can be used to provide activities that will enhance students' mathematical learning. Micro-learning is an innovative approach that will accelerate digitalization in mathematics teaching, attract students to mathematics, and combine technology and mathematics education.

Оценка влияния цифровизации на экологическую устойчивость старопромышленных регионов ЮФО

It is generally accepted that digitalization has a positive effect on “green development”, accelerating the introduction of energy and resource-saving technologies. For the economy of old industrial regions of Southern Russia, whose industrial companies cause significant damage to the environment, increasing environmental sustainability is especially important. The purpose of this article is to find the answer to the question of whether the ongoing processes of digital transformations in Volgograd and Rostov regions affect their environmental sustainability. In this article, the environmental sustainability of the region in the context of digitalization means regional development, based on the construction of such relationships between the social and economic system of the region and the natural environment that will not lead to its deterioration. When studying the environmental sustainability of the region, the following indicators are analyzed: emissions of pollutants from stationary sources into the air; discharge of polluted wastewater into surface water bodies. To analyze digital transformations in the region, the indicators characterizing the share of entities in the region using various types of digital technologies are taken. The study covers the period from 2010 to 2021. As a result of the study, a lack of connection between the indicators of digitalization and indicators of environmental sustainability in the regions under consideration was revealed. Based on the strategic and policy documents analysis for the Volgograd and Rostov regions’ digital development, it was concluded that the main reasons for the communication lack are insufficient attention of regional authorities to the possibilities of digital technologies’ use to solve the problems of environmental sustainability growth, which leads to the degradation of the territorial natural capital.
